    1500 bucks, supports 192 modems out of the gate, I think they max out at a
    few thousand modems.

    Setup a FreeBSD box as a router/radius/dns/etc server, don't worry about it
    answering modems.

    If you want to support anything other than 28.8k modems (i.e. 56k modems),
    you'll have to have your inbound lines as DS-1/PRI lines.

    What you are looking for is called a HUNT GROUP or ROLLOVER line, a hunt
    group usually consists of multiple Channelized T1 or PRI lines that all
    answer at the same number, a rollover line is usually multiple individual
    POTS (analog) lines that "rollover" to the next if the line is busy with a
    call.

    This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, it is all dealt with by the telephone
    company. FreeBSD talks directly to the terminating device (modem), not the
    phone line.

Hello-
I have a question about modem pools.    If I have several dial in
lines, and I want them to be acessable via one number, is a modem pool
what I want?  How exactly do they work and is freebsd equipped to
handle them?  Thanks.
